Microsoft reveals upgrade paths for Windows 7

This is just for the in-place upgrade.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd940011%28WS.10%29.aspx states 'In-place upgrade in Windows 7 Beta does not provide support for Windows XP and Windows Vista Release-to-Manufacturing (without Service Pack 1) operating systems.'

Look at the linked article, the image there has a four-conductor plug. Not sure why Engadget's copy only has three.

Dell finally adds 720p LCD option to Inspiron Mini 10

The 2GB issue is Microsoft's fault re: licencing of XP for netbooks.

You can get 2GB preinstalled on the Ubuntu Mini 9 models, but not on the Windows ones.

That said, a 2GB stick is like $20 from Newegg, and it's not that difficult of an upgrade.

Ballmer says tide has turned on Apple, "paying $500 more to get a logo on it" won't work in this economy

@Proud Japanese

I can get cheaper RAM and HDDs than what Dell offers, too.

Dell wants $75 for 2GB RAM for a Mini 9. It's about $20 from newegg.
Dell wants $150 for a 150GB HDD in an Inspiron 15. It's about $100 from newegg.

It's always cheaper if you do the upgrades yourself-- from Apple, from Dell, from HP, from IBM, from anyone.

That's some pretty gratuitous colon abuse there. It hurts!

VIA's 1080p-lovin' VX855 chipset emerges in MacBook Air knockoff

1024x574 is also rather useless if you want to play older games (hardware's plenty capable) at 800x600.

Olympus exec declares "twelve megapixels is enough"

@alexmueller No, the comparison is more like between a 2.0 Ghz Pentium 4 and a 2.0 GHz Core Duo.

If megahertz were a magic scale that worked for everything, both of those would be equivalent. Hint: They're not.

Apple Mac mini (GeForce 9400M) unboxing and hands-on

Mar 4th 2009 10:49AM on Engadget

The Mac mini never had a HDMI port. You can use a DVI-to-HDMI adapter though.

There's currently an adapter for miniDVI-to-HDMI available from Monoprice (a miniDisplayPort-to-HDMI one is forthcoming, ETA the 15th). The audio jacks are combo 3.5mm stereo/mini-TOSLINK jacks, so there's your optical audio. (You can do both optical in and out.)

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
